Getting Ready
The Oracle Academy team is committed to your success! However, your success will
depend on your commitment to being ready for the first week’s web chatting lesson as
well as for each of the following Pre-Institute weekly sessions.
Here’s where to start..
•Identify an email account that you can access from work or home
•Begin thinking of a “best” day of the week that you can attend the weekly web
chatting sessions. Each session will be approximately 60 minutes. Attendance is
mandatory!
•Identify a computer with high speed Internet connectivity that you
can use to participate in the weekly web conferences.
